Sheepy

Hi! i'm young and inexperienced with writing as i am turning 19 this year but i love it and would really enjoy sharing some of my work!






It’ll be alright
I kept thinking when I ought to be drinking
thinking thoughts of what I could do if I was drunk
how if I was drunk I wouldn't keep thinking
how I could be a person that wouldn’t mind if my brain shrunk
because if everyone drunk then everyone's else's brain would shrink the same
and I couldn't blame myself because I was just playing the game
that everyone played on Friday nights so it would be alright
it would be alright
because even if I couldn't remember what happened
I could still remember I couldn't remember
all except for the empty glass of Gin
and the vomit down my sweater
a new day would begin
now I feel I could do this forever
so I grinned and grinned
I kept grinning through to September
and it's gonna be alright
But today
I dropped out of university
Because of U turn in my grades
The 'you' my parents new? It was no longer me
I didn't want to live in a world they had made
Getting a degree was a killer on my fees
I just wanted to get drunk,paid and laid anyway
That old world now history
Yeah, it'll be alright
Though this girl I don't quite remember is at my door
Her dark mascara running down her cheeks
Her gaze fixed down at the floor
Because as she speaks
- the quite words that could of easily been the most defying roar
To a could-have-been father that's too busy falling at his feet
A father who only feels a father to fear and beer
Who has not not cared but never wanted to care
In making a choice
That could reserve the life of a baby boy
Rather than a reserved spot in an abortion clinches waiting chair
That’s empty
Not just from presence but also from soul
Because I kept drinking and drinking
My heart kept sinking and sinking
And as I cried out "how it was meant to be all alright'"
I then realised
The choices I thought I had done just to myself

In The Town

In this town
There is no screwing around
Sprinkled in bird shit stains
Where graffiti has swarmed the alleyways
And heavy winds accompany heavy rain
Yet snow hasn't been seen in a decade
The stoners puff their joints in public
Seen in their ripped jeans and overlarge hoodies
Tripping out to dubstep and attracting the sleezy chicks
Sell their dope like bags of goodies

In this town
There are more joggers than the shoppers
Running around the wharf between ports
Mostly women terrified of becoming tomorrows floppers
A marathon every morning abusing tight shorts
Becoming one to be seen as someone
Comes forth the next generations drunks
And by thirty you'll have many grandsons
But face piss each morning in the poverty of your bunk

In this town
Friday nights are thick with noise
When boy racers drive around and around
Finding security amidst themselves and The Boys
Where Rainbow colours are nowhere to be found
Except in the lost treasure box of last years toys

In this town
Being yourself has a label
All creativity has been stolen
your visions will turn into last nights
dreams and fables

Because in this town
There is no screwing around.

Drifting Insomniac

[/COLOR]Need some sleep
But I can't seem to close my eyes
Counting sheep
But the fence is getting too high
Breathing deep
As the hours keep spinning by

I don't know
If I can keep doing this anymore
Please rest my soul
And let The Sandman in my door

Chronos is coming in
He's telling me it's time to rise
Another day to begin
But I just want to shut my eyes
I just want to shut my eyes
I just want to shut my eyes

My dreams are getting old
I just want to let myself fall away
My feet are feeling cold
I think I'll be staying where I lay

Don't leave me stranded on Styx Bay
Let the copper coins have their weight
So the Ferryman can be on his way
It's been a long awaited date
They'll be no disappointing Hade
It's time to meet him
at The Gate

Chronos is coming in
He's telling me it's time to rise
Another day to begin
But I just want to shut my eyes
I just want to shut my eyes
I just want to shut my eyes

For Christchurch

The people were healing
the scars that had once come
And though better they were feeling
Those scars soon had became undone

The earth began to creep
the sky closed in above
the ground gave out beneath their feet
and took away their beloved

The workers working till morning
to find people now lost
the nation now in mourning
less we ever forget the cost

Lost Students

Welcome back good youth
you've come knocking at door
but your pockets looks so empty
your face seems so unsure

We'll get the kettle boiling
put the dogs outside
stop yourself from falling
and tell us what's going on inside

speak your dark confessions
what weeds your soul now seeds
spill your sly obsession
that has become your new found creed

what happened to your visions
for why you left this place behind
what went wrong in your missions
that slowly ended in crime

Your back at the start of the journey
back where you left you're old man
you're back where God had left you
and you're doing the best you can
you're doing the best you can
you're doing the best you can

What happened to the beating
that set you're heart aflame
why did you try cheating
in the devils favourite game

You can use my shoulder for weeping
if you find yourself back here
but never stop seeking
the things you once held dear

Your back at the start of the journey
back where you left you're old man
you're back where God had left you
Back where it all began[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]
